Hi @reddexx,

You'd have to update the "External Authentication ID" value to match their new expected value that they'd get from the SAML auth system (the property of which is dictated by the SAML2_EXTERNAL_ID_ATTRIBUTE option).
If the same property can be used, which you already have via LDAP, via SAML then you might not need to alter anything on the BookStack side.

If you do need to update many "External Authentication ID" values, you could alternative do this via the API or database.

For us, the External Authentication ID looks like this:

but this does not correspond to SAML2 External Authentication ID

Ah, okay, yeah I doubt you'll have full LDAP DN info in SAML.
Would have to change it up to be an appropriate unique ID that your SAML system can provide.
